In my experience there is no right answer, it all depends. :( Like you mentioned, for *some* grooming tools, real-world scale is preferred. But even that depends on whether the tools themselves where designed around it, which isn’t necessarily the case. Rendering typically assumes real-world scale, for things like subsurface scatter depth being in centimeters. Simulation varies greatly, to my great surprise. nCloth assumes *0.01x* with a default gravity of 9.8 cm/s as opposed to m/s, Bullet assumes 1.0x and who knows what third-party solvers end up choosing.
For animation this problem is also ever present, in that translate versus rotate curves in the graph editor appear at wildly different scales. E.g. an arm rotated 20 degrees can cover the Y-axis of the editor, but then display that alongside hip translation and you’ll end up either zooming in or out like mad, obscuring the rotation. So no matter how consistent you are, someone *will* end up suffering. It’s an unsolved problem.
